哈佛医学院发表在cell的文章称可能找到了动物衰老的秘密.研究人员通过提高细胞内NAD(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)使22个月的老鼠肌肉回复到6个月时的状态.NAD在细胞内的水平随年龄的增长而下降.
They used a chemical to rejuvenate muscle in mice and said it was the equivalent of transforming a 60-year-old's muscle to that of a 20-year-old - but muscle strength did not improve.
Their study, in the journal Cell, indentified an entirely new mechanism of ageing and then reversed it.
